Excerpt from Life and Religion: With Biographical Sketches These Discourses do not challenge criticism from the purely literary standpoint. They labour under all the disadvantages incident to posthumous publication, having been neither selected nor revised by their Author. With the exception of the two Sermons entitled respectively "Worship" and "Christianity and Literature, " they were all composed rapidly in the course of Dr. Leckie's ordinary week-to-week ministrations, and are fair examples of his regular style of teaching. The plan of the book throughout is memorial. Its design is to represent as fully as possible the different sides of Dr. Leckie's thought, and the various characteristics of his preaching. This explains the miscellaneous nature of the volume as a whole, and justifies especially the inclusion of that section entitled "Thoughts and Illustrations." The editor owes warmest thanks to the Rev. Fergus Ferguson, D.D., for general supervision and advice, and to the Rev. D. W. Forrest, M.A., for help in choosing the Sermons.
